One of the hottest trends in commercial growing is utilizing Retractable Roof Greenhouses. These greenhouses allow you to reap the benefits of both full sun growing and greenhouse growing year-round. Roofs totally open so that plants receive maximum light and infra-red radiation during the early morning and late afternoon to warm up plants to maximize photosynthesis. The ability to cover or uncover your plants at any moment ensures that your crops will be able to survive the hottest summers and the coldest winters. The retractable roof can automatically be fully closed, fully retracted or partially closed to create the best possible environment for the crop based on the outside weather conditions.
Enhanced Cooling
With all the trapped heat and energy in greenhouses, retractable roof greenhouses enhance the cooling effect. A ventilation system is not big enough to exhaust heat as quickly as greenhouses take them in. Retractable roof greenhouses take trapped heat out of the equation.
Flat Roof
The retractable flat roof greenhouses are an affordable way to protect rain tolerant crops from excessive heat, cold, and wind. There is a wide variety of water porous roof coverings and structural designs that allow for the optimal balance between crop requirements, environmental conditions, and the level of investment. This style is best suited for tropical/semi-tropical regions with arid dry conditions.
